Ergodic diffusion in network configuration space — •Sebastian Weber and Markus Porto — Institut für Festkörperphysik, Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany

Virtually all real-world networks have evolved over time by stepwise alternation into their present structure. The patterns by which structural changes occur can be assumed to allow, in principle, for a free diffusion in the network configuration space. However, an ergodic exploration of the network configuration space by means of a generic process beyond single edge addition or removal is a subtle task as modification patterns are often bound to a particular class of networks [1]. We present an ansatz which uses only information of the current network in order to alter the network structure and evaluate the proposed schemes by driving, for instance, Erdős-Rényi type to two-point correlated scale-free type networks and back.
